Seven billion dollar television deal for the Big Ten! How can the ACC or the Big Twelve or any smaller conference hope to survive let alone compete against that?
Zeise
12:22
I think this is where it was always headed. The Big and SEC will dominate college football for the foreseeable future

What does Chris Oladokun do at the Steelers training camp?  I never hear his name mentioned.
Zeise
12:23
He is basically a practice squad guy. He got a few reps the other day but he is a developmental player at best
Matt from LA
12:23
Although I understand their frustration and anger with Nutting, when are people going to accept the fact that no one, not MLB, not the city, NO ONE can force him to either sell the team or spend more money on it?
Zeise
12:23
Most people know that
Ironhead from Listie

Paul-Jimmy Franklin said several years ago that beating Pitt was like beating Akron and that PSU would dominate the state. Penn State may  have the better program (not sure) but do you think Pitt has the better team right now and if so, how is this even possible when PSU ranks much higher than Pitt in recruiting classes?
Zeise
12:24
There is no question that Pitt is better than Penn State and will be this year
Matt from LA
12:24
With all of the time, money and effort in drafting NFL players, how could the Steelers be so wrong about Devin Bush?
Zeise
12:24
Think about how many top ten picks are busts. It is an in exact science
Hopeless
12:25
Can we all face facts ? There is zero talent in the entire Pirates organization. They will never finish above .500 again. Ever and if MLB was run properly the Pirates and A's would be contracted because they are killing the sport
Zeise
12:26
Those aren’t facts. There are a few legitimate prospects and not much more. But the development crew of this current regime has been very underwhelming
Sunner in Orlando
12:33
Has the ship sailed on trying to trade for Roquan Smith? Bush AND Spillane look horrible and it was clear that their play was the main reason the Steelers got gauged defending the run. I know Smith's price tag is huge but the Steelers cannot afford to start the year with either Bush or Spillane starting next to Jack.
Zeise
12:33
I don’t think there ever was a ship to sail
Sandman
12:33
Any news on Zach Banner health wise? Can he play this year? Would they consider him at a discounted rate even as a back up?
Zeise
12:34
Have not heard anything but my gut tells me he won’t play this year
Robert X
12:34
Why can't anyone in the media dig up dirt on Bob Nutting ? What did he know about Vasquez's behavior and did he try and cover it up ? Is there a racist, sexist, homophobic or xenophobic email or text messages that he sent that MLB can use ? Did he sexually harass some one ? Has he been embezzling billions ? Surely SOMEBODY can find something ? And if they can't can somebody make something up ?
Zeise
12:34
This is a long way to go to say you don’t like the guy!!
Strike Out Cruz
12:34
He's a bust. Can't hit. Can't field. He's Polanco 2.0. He's a bust. Pirate fans need to face it
Zeise
12:35
I’m not ready to go there yet. It is his first season
Spjack
12:36
Omar Khan has stated they will not trade any of the quarterbacks. Why is it still an issue?
Zeise
12:37
I don’t think he said that definitively. And I will be shocked if they don’t trade Rudollh
Robert Nutting
12:43
Greetings non Billionaire. I wanted to let you and the other non Billionaires know that even though I have purchased an alcoholic spirits company, I am still committed to my goals with my Baseball company. Namely to make me as rich as possible while you non Billionaires enjoy the fireworks and bobble heads I get made for pennies
Hammer
12:43
Didn't they put Anthony Miller on IR last week?
Zeise
12:45
Good looking out, they did and he isn’t the one I was thinking of that seems to be getting a lot of run. It is Cody White, not Anthony Miller who I think is the 5th guy based on camp
Where is My Clark Bar?
12:45
Paul, I write this not to sound condescending, but how hard is it for a professional (#10 overall pick) to "learn" and become "proficient" in your job i.e. defending the run? I just don't understand the barriers.
Zeise
12:46
Maybe they are mental or maybe his heart isn’t in it. There are plenty of reasons why a guy becomes a bust

Paul, I live in Miami, so Dennis Eckerskley's comments struck me as nothing more than a statement of the obvious. I was most surprised by Pittsburgh's reaction to the comments. Unfortunately, the media in Pittsburgh pushes this total ridiculous and false narrative of hope, with respect to the Pirates. Why does the local media protect Pirates ownership? They should be boycotted - the owner clearly values money over winning.
Zeise
12:47
Who are the media in this town that apologizes for and makes excises for Bob Nutting?
Amanda
12:47
I certainly hope they aren't planning to sell those distilled spirits at Pirates game. I will not pay for a ticket if they enable such reckless behavior
Zeise
12:47
You have a garage full of that whiskey already, I’m sure
Chuck
12:47
Paul,

I have met Bob Nutting on several occasions. Have you spent time with him? Does he strike you as someone who understand sports? He looks/acts/talks like he played the flute in the orchestra and never stepped on an athletic field, if you know what I mean.
Zeise
12:49
He is a very nice guy. He is polite, thoughtful and not at all condescending. Of course the same can be said of the ice cream man in my neighborhood and I don’t want him owning a sports team….
Chuck
12:49
Can Penn State win the Big 10 this year with their 6th year QB ?
Zeise
12:50
No. Ohio State may be the best team in the country. Everyone in that league is playing for second
Eric Ebron
12:50
Glad the Steelers training camp at St Vincent is almost over. What a dump. They need to move it to the South Side or Miami next year
Zeise
12:50
A lot of people seem to love it
Big$ErnieHeartnerMIA

Who is our top breakout candidates on the Panther offense and defense this year? Any special team players to watch?
